Tom...Shirley and I met Joie only once, in Sedona, and we have never forgotten her. She and Shirl went to a mountaintop together there. Now Joie is on the mountaintop forever. There was something so unique and appealing about her. God Bless. Steve and Shirley Parker, Halifax, NS.

Dear Family and especially Ted (Teddie or Theodore),

I was so saddened to hear about your loss. My memories are so, so fond of Joie and her joy of life. She always had a smile on her face and adored her family. Much, much love and many hugs.......Peggy Pascal, Ted's old music teacher from Braeside
